    - How to disable automatic spaces Hello, I've got a problem with Word XP as it is placing and removing spaces without asking. I've got 2 samples to illustrate my problem. Sample 1 (Copy & Paste): I've copied the text 'test' to the clipboard. When I paste the text into the sentence 'This is a sentence' between 'a' and 'sentence' I get 'This is a test sentence'. Notice the space after the word 'test'. This is added by Word without asking me. As I copy and paste a lot of stuff where it's meant to become one word this is very annoying. Sample 2 (Delete): I've got a text like 'Test ' followed by a paragraph ending. When I select 'Test' (and not the space behind it) and press 'Delete' then Word deletes the space as well. This is also very annoying. Can anyone tell me how to disable this 'intelligent'-behaviour? Many thanks in advance.

    - En-dash and Em-dash without numeric keypad? On my desktop, which has a full keyboard, I can get an en-dash or em-dash using the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Num- and Alt+Ctrl+Num-. The keyboard on my laptop does not have a numeric keypad. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to get these characters? I tried NumLock without success. I would prefer not to define a new shortcut. I guess I am really asking if there is a way to simulate the minus sign on the numeric keypad without a numeric keypad.

    - Unable to Open MS Word 2000 SR Recently my MS Word 2000 has developed the following glitch. When I open the program instead of a blank page there appears the opening page of a file which I had created some time before but had deleted. When I click the 'open new page' icon, the same thing happens. And so on for any further effort to secure a blank page. In all cases the old file with its appears on my screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the MS Word Program, but the problem remains. I cannot locate the rogue file on my computer. Nor can I locate the Normal.Dot file.

    - Word XP Unit of Measurement Won't Change Hello, I have a problem and am urgently looking for a solution. I installed Word XP, and the ruler showed measurements in millimeters rather than inches. I tried repeatedly to go to Tools, Options, General to set the default to inches. That should have been simple enough. "Inches" appeared as the default setting, but the ruler did not change to reflect the change. It still appeared in millimeters. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling, with the same result. I also tried running Install and specifying Repair, and the only change was that the ruler's unit of measurement changed to "character." Also, when going to Format, Paragraph to adjust spacing before or after paragraphs and/or to set indents via this dialog box, the measurement that shows is "ch" (character). Typing in measurements here in inches and specifying inches as the desired unit of measurement doesn't work. FWIW, in trying to troubleshoot the problem, the same CD that was used in the installation was also used to install XP on another machine. It installed properly. The other machine had identical specs to the "problem" machine. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, solutions as to what I can try to set things right? Help! Many thanks in advance for any and all responses! Bad Bart Tag: convert from Lotus Wordpro to Microsoft Office? Tag: 71652

    - Problem formatting Wordpad (and often Word) I'm having a terrible repeat problem with Wordpad I use sometimes for its simplicity and Word in getting the margins correct. I'm using MOS 2003 and WinXPSP2. I have had the problem with Word before, but not Wordpad. I have tried to use Format>Tabs and Format>Paragraph to correct this and the Help but gotten nowhere. Obviously need to read up on margins in Word and will but need to get help now with this. I can't make sense of the margin settings on the *horizontal ruler* and am not sure whether to use it manually or the Format capability on the toolbar. What I'm getting no matter how I change or set the *tab stop position* at Format>Tabs (obviously I don't know how) is something that looks like this: _____________________________________________________________________ Dear Mr. Jones: Please note the following problem with the table. It was black and should have been brown. Can you send me the correct color of table as soon as possible so I'll have matching furniture. I would appreciate this very much. Best regards, Chad Harris _____________________________________________________ Thanks much in advance for the help. How do I justify these margins to look the way they should?

    - Annoying Toolbar I'm posting this to both the Word and the WinXP newsgroups, as i don't know which is causing the problem. A few days ago, I installed the WinXP Service Pack 2, and also updated my Word with a newer version (2002?). Now an annoying toolbar appears on the right side of my desktop, disappearing in and out of the desktop when my curser gets near the right side. It's annoying because (1) I don't want or need it; and (2) it gets in the way when I'm trying to close a window by using the x in the top right corner. I also updated my mother's computer with WinXP SP2 and the Word update on that same day. Her annoying bar, which has a different appearance from mine, has appeared on the left hand side. I know I can move it from the right, but I don't want it at all. Can someone kindly tell me how to get rid of it? Thanks in advance, Perri Tag: convert from Lotus Wordpro to Microsoft Office?
